I’m going to be one of those old women who goes wherever she pleases

I suppose it might be nice to go for a swim

So I drive to the beach in whatever I’m wearing

And a swimsuit thrown into the bag I got by the sea last time I visited Mexico

My friends remind me I can’t drive and I might drown because my body is too weak to fight the currents

I’m not old yet and they’re not wrong

Do you think that matters though?

Because I’ll find a way to the ocean even if it takes me days

I’ll find my way to the sea even if it takes me away

And I’ll find my way even after to tell you the tale

After all, there’s nothing but saltwater in my veins

It pumps through this heart pulling me this way and that

I have to go now, because I know the kind of old woman I need to live up to

She revels in the water and rebels against advice

She’s a stubborn kind of animal

With wings, a woman need not drive

Feathers may fall but I’ll take flight again and again

Keeping everyone’s thoughts tucked away safe, under my wings where they can’t catch me

For sale: women’s shoes, never worn

I forked over cash in countless department stores in my excitement to gift them to her

I presented them in all their unicorn and rainbow glory to her like an offering to a goddess

I tried slipping them on like Cinderella’s slippers but they wouldn’t go on even when I pulled the laces loose and pried them open wider

Her feet are curved inwards like Cheetos, 2 entirely different sizes, one swollen and the other less so

They size was right, I’d triple checked

They just wouldn’t go onto her feet no matter what I tried and yes, I tried everything

Now they’re collecting dust behind our couch

Too pretty to throw away with all their colorful prints

Deep footprints of my love

Now, I buy slippers that stretch around the curves and the size difference

I don’t just get the right size

I’m getting the fit right for the first time

They’re not exactly shoes and they don’t have rainbows or unicorns

But they’re worn in now

So I’m selling the ones that couldn’t bend or stretch because they’re still new

Never left the box

Running through honey

Swimming through molasses

Dancing through maple syrup

Resting on my butter sofa

My mother told me she loves me

But she’s never known what it’s like to be loved

You see she only chooses strangers to love

I used to be a stranger too

A traveler that only ever saw the sights

Now I know the place they call home is where the love is

Sometimes the love isn’t where it’s supposed to be

But wherever it is, there I’ll be

Where the strange trees grieve

This willow weeps tears of longing into the river that runs thru my mothers heart

The love is here with the longing and the grieving

It’s enough to love the parts of me that are no longer

[sapphicsclub]

That attitude like a Rottweiler

Snapping like a turtle

Moving like a snake underneath the grass

You are…

The lioness hunting down prey then dragging the carcass back

Simply dropping it at my feet like an offering

It lands with the soft thud of a fresh kill

Tongue lapping up what taste remains around your blood stained lips

You are the wildest thing I’ll ever know

[sapphicsclub]

Even perfectionists are always striving to be more perfect, there’s always better.

Even when you’re the best,

it’s never enough

It’s never good enough

Whatever you did isn’t 100% flawless and even if it was, you wouldn’t be able to do it again

You can’t make a mistake or you’ll be a mistake

Everyone will see that you don’t belong here

But if even perfect people aren’t happy people, then who’s happy? Because I want to be one of the happy people more than anything. Being a perfectionist is far from perfect.

If you were me and I were you

I’d go on a run at night

In a park, doesn’t matter which

“Whichever’s closest, I guess”

I won’t share my location with anyone

I won’t pack this year’s self defense tool for women

I’ll have trouble running like someone’s chasing me

I won’t listen to true crime podcasts so I can stay alive

I won’t look behind me when I’m tying my shoelaces

But if you were me, you’d start selling this body like a hot new product, wouldn’t you?

I’m the object you can only imagine in relation to yourself

You are just like the rest

[sapphicsclub]

If only I could rock to sleep on my boat every night,

maybe I’d wake up ready to rock

Surely the sea remembers when it held our bodies together

When I danced and twirled in it

And spun you ‘round for everytime I couldn’t on earth

When I dipped you back,

Hand behind you head

When you pulled me in for a kiss that I could’ve drowned in happily

Surely the sea remembers

[sapphicsclub]

Do it perfectly or don’t bother doing it

That’s what I told myself for 28 years

But today I think I’ll change my mind just to see what happens

Mostly because I don’t end up doing anything

for fear of it not being perfect

But what’s perfect anyways if

Everything’s undone

Including me

So l think I’ll do things imperfectly too

Don’t mind me, don’t mind the imperfection
